they are feeling so good about the election, they have forgotten they have a duty to govern. a lot of people are going to suffer a lot if we go off the cliff. that is why we assumed democrats would have preferred to avoid it. we thought this was the perfect opportunity to do something. apparently we were wrong. >> at the beginning of wednesday's one house briefing, jason furman told reporters the plan to close loopholes and lower tax deductions would ultimately hurt the middle class. this is 10 minutes. >> thanks for being here. good afternoon. i, as you can see, have brought a guest. jason furman is the principal deputy director of the national economic council. he is also an assistant to the president for economic policy. he's somebody that many of you are familiar with. in the last several days in particular we've had a lot of questions and a lot of conversation about the issue of revenue, and how we achieve significant revenue as part of a broad deficit reduction package. it is the president's position, as you know, that we need to have income tax rates on the highest ear

that's one principle i won't compromise on after all, this was a central question in the election. a clear majority of americans -- democrats, republicans and independents -- agreed with a balanced approach that asks something from everyone, but a little more from those who can most afford it. it's the only way to put our economy on a sustainable path without asking even more from the middle class. and it's the only kind of plan i'm willing to sign. everyone agrees we need to bring down our deficit and strengthen our economy for the long-term. the question is whether we can do it in a responsible way that allows us to keep investing in the things that have always made america strong. i'm convinced we can. and if both sides are willing to compromise, i believe we can give businesses and families a sense of security going into the new year. thanks, and have a great weekend. >> hello, i'm marco rubio. i have the honor of representing florida in the united states senate, and the privilege of addressing you today on behalf of my fellow republicans. our middle class has made america diff

2016 election. assuming they get a good candidate. >> i teach history at northern virginia community college. do you see any parallel between the whig party, which tried to be all things to all people, leaderless, and ironically the upstart, regional, singular issue focused new republican party. is the current republican party going to go the way of the whigs? >> i doubt that. there were a very weak party. the party developed as an anti- jackson party. that was about it. it won two presidential elections by mimicking the democrats. they were a national party. they ran in the south but they were torn apart by the slavery issue. the republican party and the whig party have that much in common. the republicans have been around and are deeply entrenched. but you do ask a good question -- where are the republicans going to get those votes to turn themselves into a majority party? ronald reagan did not really succeed in doing that and he had a very successful administration. one thing i learned in looking

remember, the elect rat in an offyear election tends to be older and tends to be whiter. these guys are all about survival. they're not going to do anything that they think will make it more likely that someone more conservative than themselves would challenge them in a primary. for them it is about survival. >> what about the risks on the other side? are there risks for president obama in all of this? >> there's risk. you look at immigration, i tend to agree with democrats that he probably has a stronger hand given that republicans feel like they have to do something that he's wanted to do. but, remember, the president had his chance. he promised to do immigration reform in the first year of his first term. and he didn't do it. and he didn't do it when he had all democratic control. so he could have done it. he chose not to do it. so he's under a lot of pressure because he made that same promise again this election. there's a lot of hispanic leaders saying wait a second. you made that promise last time. you broke it. you made it this time. are you going to break it again
